I assumed that it was the wrong motor since it did not look like the pics on the web site. Mike, you should update your web site to show blue wanderer's.

I just got down with a real run. I mounted things better, Installed a UBEC.

It was faster then the stock one. That suprised me, The one thing I forgot to mention (Idiot that I am) was that I replaced the wheels with much larger wheels from day one. they are 8"' wheels.

I left it in low gear most of the time. Even then it was faster then stock, Just slightly. The few times I put it into High gear I could not get up to full speed since My yard is fenced in.

Here is what I ended up with

Low gear fairly steady running, start, stop laps.
100 degree Battery
105 degree ESC
120 Motor

After shifting to High gear for 2 minutes and pushing it hard.
106 battery
112 ESC
140 Motor.

I think if I put a heatsink on the motor I will be pretty good. Since I am not racing, I will spend most of the time in low gear. That assumes that I do not just remove second all togeather.

I am charging the batteries now to see how much I used up. But I was running about 10-15 minutes. My wife and I just use them to entertain ourselfs when we go for walks. We walk in the park woods, Thus the larger tires, Need to get over branches and rocks :027:

PS. It seems that the motor was cooler this past run then the first run, I will have to assume it was... Ubec, or I programed the ESC for forward reverse, First time I ran it without programming it and it had no reverse.
No that I programed it Brakes for just about right, Maybe even a little week expecially in High gear.
